Quick Bst Dyna Question

[Zhronne]

Tried to farm CoP dynamis-valk on BST/DNC only once and it's been a huge failure; what I was wondering is what you do with TE stones? They're a bit harder to get, typically, than the static ones in City/Beau/Xarc zones. They roam a lot and are usually surrounded by hordes of monsters.

Do you try to clean the area if there's just one/two mobs around? Do you just move around waiting for a stone to be in a good position to be pulled/killed?
You can't really kill them in 2 seconds (mobs turned etc) unless you have TP stored, and sometimes waiting for the right positioning you just waste so much time moving around wasting powders/oils and seeing your mobs pulled by others who refused to team up with you just for the TE kills.

The rest of the farming looks very very easy to me, it's just getting TEs efficiently that's making me wonder how to do it right.

I personally do not clear mobs before sending in my pet to kill the. TE. There is some waiting for a good pull but when they're in the middle of a pack of mobs sometimes that's just not possible. Often, you just have to send in the pet and hope it can get the job done fast. That said, what jug are you using? Dipper isn't the jug to use for sniping TEs. I use Gorefang or Shasra (mostly because I have movement speed boots and it drives me when nuts when my pets lag behind while hunting TEs). Gorefang and Shara do hit hard, taking out huge chunks of of the statue's hp per swipe. Most times they get the job done while other mobs backs are turned. If I get links, I get my hands dirty and finish the TE off myself, then beat a strategic retreat.

Sometimes it's just about luck but getting TEs done fast requires agression on your part and willing to spend money on oils/powders/pets.

It just might be to use dd pets while doing TEs and then dipper for farming. That's what I do and sometimes there will be days I get links and have to call more pets but most days I'm honestly done in 5-10 mins.

Also takes practice to get a real feel about what pulls are gonna be safe and one's that will turn into clusterf**ks. Keep at it!
